Sea Cider Reviews

Tasting the ciders here was super fun, the staff gives great explanations about each cider and about the history of the ciderhouse. Sitting on the patio while tasting the flight of ciders was a great way to spend a summer afternoon. The pours were definitely generous and they each did taste really different. The cream honey that they make themselves is also a great gift/souvenir---it's really delicious.- Glaciala A. Providence, RI

If I lived in Victoria I would visit the Sea Cider everyday, and I would be a borderline alcoholic because I would have to have the BIG flight every time. The server was friendly and knowledgeable, and the snacks went well with our flight. I recommend getting one of everything they have, you wont be disappointed. I LOVE this place. This place is a must on your way to the ferry in Saanich.- Ana M. Bothell, WA
